The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The waterway of the Yadigu Canal went very smoothly. Except for two collisions caused by the new fleet, which blocked the waterway, there were no other accidents.

It can be said that Leo and the others have listened to the story for a whole day. Although not all the sailors in the fleet have the same rough experience as the old sailors, the various things they encountered in the past can still provide a lot of things. The information at least gave Leo and Sylvia some understanding of the oceans of this world.

For example, there are no sea gods in this world, but there are deep sea monsters. These deep sea monsters are like sea gods in the eyes of people who seek life at sea. They will believe in these monsters and will use methods including sacrifices of living people. Obtain the amulet bestowed by the giant monster, and the ship with the amulet can sail safely on the sea, of course, provided that it will not encounter a large enough storm or break into the waters of the hostile giant.

These deep-sea giants are not as high as the gods and have never appeared in front of people. They appear very frequently. Ships often see giants, and sometimes they can even see them on the shores where storms appear. In the distance, two deep-sea monsters are fighting in the storm.

Almost every sailor in Leo’s fleet has seen giant monsters at sea, and a few are lucky to survive the tsunami caused by giant monster fighting.

In addition to these strange things at sea, Leo's biggest gain from these sailors is the charts in their minds.

This is also what makes Leo and Sylvia interesting. Although this world has very powerful sailing ships and a large number of sailing-related professionals, this world does not have a complete and unified chart.

According to the sailor, the oceans of this world do not have a fixed ocean current. Ocean currents change every time, and the changes are disorderly and chaotic. Even some islands will drift irregularly due to changes in ocean currents. Only a few islands will be fixed, so the route formed by these fixed islands becomes extremely important.

These routes have always been in the hands of the church fleet of the Holy Alliance. All ships on this route need to pay very high taxes, so some bold fleets will try to open up a new route.

However, these bold actions eventually ended in failure, but even if they failed so many times, there are still new fleets that will try this. Almost all of the ships on which Ives sailors have made similar attempts, and the result is also All are failures.

In the eyes of other people, the routes traveled by these failed ships have no reference value, but in Leo’s eyes, they have different views, because in his opinion, the experience of failure is also an experience, and it is an extremely important experience. In these failed experiences There is also very valuable information in, for example, he found at least six fixed islands by comparing the charts provided by these sailors.

Although the location and number of these islands are not enough to form a route, the surrounding waters of these islands are all related to the magical sea legends, deep sea monsters, etc. in the mouth of the sailor, and one of them was visited by the old water. That may be a small island in a settlement of the Belmont family, so Leo specially compiled these materials for later needs.

Although there was no trouble in the waterway of the ancient canal, there were some problems in the less than 20 minutes from Tissan to Yordel City. A very critical mountain road encountered a landslide caused by a mudslide. Clean up this one. The road may take ten and a half months. In the end, Leo and the others could only give up their original idea of ​​going on the road with the caravan, and walked directly on the mountain path, over the middle peaks, and came to Yordel City.

Like all mining cities, Yordel City is also extremely prosperous inside the city, and the outside of the city is extremely desolate, and even most of the hillsides cannot see a plant.

This is not only because this place is originally very dry and less rainy, but also because the water source here has been polluted due to mining, washing and refining silver, and the polluted water will evaporate with the water vapor, float in the air, and then again As the rain fell, it covered the entire land boundary.

The reason why other places are not affected is because this place is a basin surrounded by high mountains, and the evaporated water vapor in this place simply cannot cross the mountains and drift to other places.

It is also for this reason that most people who lived here in the past suffered from a skin disease called silver moss disease. The skin of the affected person will grow some silver lumps in some parts of the body, and these lumps will accumulate to a certain extent. After the degree, it will crack and fall off, exposing the flesh and blood inside, and the patient will feel like being peeled off the skin, and this is not the end, because after this layer of silver lumps will grow out with the skin, it will repeat itself until it is full. The whole body, finally died of pain.

In the beginning, the local people didn’t know that the water source was polluted, but thought that they were cursed by some kind of curse, and the purification technique of the Church of Purification Fire could alleviate the symptoms of silver moss disease. Fire churches are the core beliefs here.

Until a doctor from the Old World discovered that the cause of silver moss disease was that the water source was contaminated by mining, to completely solve the silver moss disease, we needed to close the mine to completely purify the water source, but the problem is that all local income comes from the mine. Without the mine, the city would be gone, and the people in the city would have no way to survive, so this solution cannot be implemented at all.

Later, the Spring Water Temple came here, using the magic of this church, created a clean spring that never dried up in the Spring Water Temple church, and built a large reservoir in the city. This was solved. Silver moss disease is a stubborn disease that has plagued the local area for many years.

Up to now, except for those who have been working in the mines for a long time, they will still get silver moss disease. The people in the city have never suffered from this disease all the year round and the clean spring water. Therefore, the spring water temple is against the guests, whether it is prestige or believers. Both surpassed the Purification Fire Church in the city before and became the most important religious belief in Yodel City.

As for the Purification Fire Church, it behaves very strangely. Instead of confronting it directly and robbing the parish, it completely withdrew from the city, leaving only sixteen Purification Fire Pillars. The branches are located in various parts of the city. People have a feeling of weakness.

Compared with ordinary people in Yordel City, Leo and Sylvia are more aware of the current situation. Although the believers of the spring water temple in the city are dominant, the power of the spring water temple is very weak, and the power that really controls the entire city It is the sixteen purifying flint pillars.

Now perhaps I can’t see at all what the role of these sixteen pillars full of purifying fire power is, but both Leo and Sylvia believe that once Yordel City intends to completely abandon the Purifying Fire Church, then among the sixteen pillars The power of will burst out. As for what scene will burst out, it goes without saying.

However, because of the effects of these sixteen stone pillars, Yordel City suffered the least losses during the rat tide. Except for the miners who were in the mines outside the city when the rat tide occurred, there were no people in the city. One was dead in the rat tide.

However, even so, many people died in the city. They survived the rat tide, but died under the riots that took place in the city.

Because the rat tide happened suddenly and spread extremely fast, Yordel City did not have time to make any response. The whole city was completely isolated by the rat tide and lost contact with the outside world.

Yordel City is not a food-producing city, and it is impossible to grow any food crops around it. Therefore, the daily food needed in the city is transported in from outside.

In the past, a large amount of food was delivered to the city almost every day. Except for a small amount of food stored in the city, the rest of the needs were bought on the same day. Therefore, when the rat tide blocked the city, the food in the city was not supported. It's been ten days, not even five days.

Although the governor of the city discovered the problem at the first time and immediately made a minimum ratio of food, this still could not alleviate the food crisis. Some boldly wanted to escape during the day, but they were just outside the city. Outside the city was eaten to bones by crazy rats.

In this case, the people in the city can only stay in the city and completely run out of food a little bit, so some people who are so hungry start to target their own kind, and there are cannibals in the city. The phenomenon, and some rumors about the rich in the city and the food in temples and churches spread quickly, and a riot followed.

Leo is not clear about the final result, because everything that happened in Yordel City in the rat tide was immediately banned by the Church of Purification Fire. All outsiders only knew that there was a riot in the city because of hunger. As for the process and results of the riot. How, no one knows.

The only thing that is certain is that when Leo came to Yodel City, the blood on the ground had not been washed away, and some places were condensed into plasma, because the corpse and the flies attracted by the blood covered the whole city, and the whole city was covered with blood. I can smell the odor of shit, and a huge bonfire was set up in the sanctuary of the fire of purification in the distance. The flames soaring to the sky can even see the swaying flames and the wind blowing from there. In addition to the smell of burning wood, there is also a strong smell of barbecue.

Because of this, the three Leiou who had just entered the city had no idea of ​​staying in the city for one more day. After entering the city, they came to the newly cleaned train station in the city and spent a lot of money to buy three tickets to the central city of the New World. The train ticket to Nice, just staying in this dead city for less than two hours, embarked on a new journey.

"I feel the power of the abyss." Sylvia said suddenly as the train slowly exited the platform and headed out of the city.

"Don't bother about it." Leo responded.

Leo was not surprised by Sylvia’s discovery. In fact, he felt it the moment he entered Yordel City. This was not because he knew more about the power of the abyss than Sylvia, but because he was here. The abyssal power felt in the city belongs to an abyssal serpent.

In the abyss, the abyss snakes will gather together for some primitive activities unless they are breeding offspring. Most of the abyss snakes will live alone in the rest of the time, and each abyss snake has its own territory, and other abyss snakes are equivalent to breaking in. Yu provoked.

Leo used his right hand to crystallize the serpent's reaction, confirming that he should have broken into a territory delineated by the abyss serpent, and he also knew that the abyss serpent did not enter the world as an entity, but merely a projection possession.

Although Leo and Sylvia do not need to worry about the projection of an abyssal serpent, they also have no need to cause such troubles, not to mention that this place is still a place of purification fire. A little bit of noise will cause trouble. The expected response.

It’s just that Leo and Sylvia didn’t want to be extravagant, but the other side apparently didn’t think so, especially when he sensed that Sylvia, an abyssal dragon blood family that was comparable to the pure-blooded abyssal dragon, appeared in him. In the middle, strong curiosity drove him to temporarily put aside what was going on and board the same train.

After the train left Yordel City, it walked directly outside the car where Leo and Sylvia were, opened the door of the car very casually, walked in, and sat directly on the seat opposite to the two.

Seeing this middle-aged man dressed as a miner come in, Leo and Sylvia naturally recognized his origin at a glance, and after each other sat down, Sylvia took out some coins and gave them to the opposite seat. Somewhat at a loss, Petistan asked her to go to the dining car in front to stay for a while.

After Petunia left, Leo stood up, closed the door of the car, and locked it from the inside. uukanshu.com then sat back to Sylvia.

This incarnation of the Abyssal Serpent focused on Sylvia from the beginning to the end, and did not put Leo in his eyes at all. He neither sensed Leo nor possessed the power of the Abyssal Serpent that was completely banned. Did not find Leo's own powerful power, in his eyes Leo may be just a tool used by the abyssal dragon family to disguise their identity.

This may be due to the flaws in his method of projection possession, or Leo's control of his own power is too strong, and any energy fluctuations in his body have been completely restrained, or it may be that Sylvia's power aura at this moment is too strong. Strong enough to cover up all the anomalies around him, in short, the other party has made a misjudgment at this moment, and this misjudgment may be fatal to him.

For Leo, naturally he would not miss any opportunity to expand his advantage, so when he found that the other party’s attention was all attracted by Sylvia, he was already getting up and closing the door, locking the door, and coming back to sit down. The trap has been set up in a short time, and now it is time to consider what to do with the prey in front of you.

Sylvia on the side also guessed what Leo did from Leo's actions, and the look at the person opposite became disdainful, even as if she was looking at a lively bug.
